First Day of Instruction for Spring Arrives Monday at Cal State Fullerton

What: Spring semester classes begin Monday, Feb. 2, at Cal State Fullerton with a wide range of activities to welcome students. Students are expected at the university’s multiple sites, including online, as well as in classrooms equipped for televised instruction.
   
Enrollment: Opening-day enrollment is projected to be 29,436 — 220 fewer students than arrived for the first day of spring 2003. If the typical pattern holds, enrollment should rise in the coming weeks. Last spring, enrollment climbed from the opening-day figure of 29,656 to 31,543 by census, six weeks after the semester had begun. The opening-day projection includes more than 3,400 students who have enrolled for classes at the university’s El Toro Campus.
   
Where: In addition to the main campus in Fullerton and El Toro Campus, students are taking for-credit courses at the Irvine Spectrum (for M.B.A. candidates) and the CSUF Garden Grove Center. Extension classes are offered at the Garden Grove and Irvine Spectrum sites, as well as on the main campus.
   
Welcome Week: Titan Welcome Week activity highlights:

Feb. 2-3 — Information stations will be staffed from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. in and around the Titan Student Union, McCarthy Hall, Engineering and Computer Science buildings and the Quad.

Feb. 4 — Students at the university’s El Toro Campus will be treated to snacks in the campus courtyard prior to afternoon and evening classes.

Feb. 4-5 — Discoverfest invites students to inquire about campus organizations and clubs. Tables in the Quad are staffed from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Feb. 5 — Moonlight Madness, co-sponsored with Associated Students Games and Recreation, offers students free food, billiards and bowling from 7-10 p.m. in the Titan Student Union.
